Motorist and commuters dealing with the frustrating gridlock along Katipunan Avenue may have some good news on the horizon as a new shuttle service that's set to serve one of the biggest schools in the area is set to begin on Tuesday, June 21, 2016.

Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) has agreed with the proposal of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to use a shuttle service program specifically designed to cater to students, teachers and employees of the university during school days.

The MMDA and ADMU is set to make the use of the 'Ateneo Shuttle Service Program' official with the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) tomorrow, Monday June 20.

Since the start of the new school year, traffic in the area rises by 20-percent – specially during rush hours of the morning and afternoon to early evening – and this program hopes to alleviate the congestion and reducing the number of vehicles that come to ADMU.

[Tomorrow morning, Ateneo de Manila University and the MMDA will be signing the MOA of the Ateneo Shuttle Service Program that will be launched on Tuesday morning where students, employees and teachers can be dropped off at three different transport hubs – one along Temple Drive, another at UP-Ayala Technohub along Commonwealth and the last one at SM Marikina – where they will be picked up by the 'bus' that will bring them to Ateneo.]

ADMU will provide the shuttle service that will pick up the employees, students and teachers at the various pick-up points.
